What is Clockr?
Clockr is a simple home-screen widget that displays the current time in a readable text format.
While it is simple in design, it is packed full of customisation options to make it look just the way you want it to.
Why did I make Clockr?
I have always been a fan of minimalism. I like to have a clean home-screen. Since there was no other widgets available that presented the current time in a way that I wanted it, I decided to make my own widget.
Will it work on my device?
At the moment, Clockr is supported on all current devices running 2.1+. Soon I will have support for earlier versions of Android, but I haven't been able to test this yet. It was designed with a 480x800 screen in mind, but this isn't to say it wont work on other sizes (again, it is something I haven't tested).
Where can I get Clockr?
Clockr is again available as a free download from the Android Market. You can find it by searching for "clockr".
QR code, its click-able if you are on your phone (thanks to Wallla and excedio for helping me out):
I hope you enjoy my widget!
Thanks
- xaffron (One More Clock) for his help with services and his nifty notification trick.
- zappatilias (BattStatt) for the initial inspiration and for the Color picker suggestion!
- ralfoide (24 Clock) learnt a lot by studying his code.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How do I use this widget? Every time I click the icon it just brings up a stupid information screen.
A: Scroll down to the next post, I have provided a simple guide to installing Clockr/Clockr Evolution on your Home screen.
Q: Why does a clock need permission to read phone state?
A: Apparently it doesn't, this has been removed in the latest versions available on the Android Market. If you are being asked for this permission by my app, you are using an older version, please update. - Thanks zappatilias
Q: Some other clocks don't use a service, why does yours?
A: Clockr will only use a service if you enable "Force Update". If you are having problems with the clock going out of sync, you might need to enable "Force Update" as most people suggest this is the best method. In fact I have tested Clockr against other similar clocks using Watchdog real-time profiling and I have found Clockr (With Force Update enable) to be one of the most efficient of all of them in regard to actual CPU usage. I encourage you to test this yourself, you will be surprised at how little this app uses.
Q: Why does it put an item in my notification bar if I select "Force Update"?
A: Since Android 2.0, there have been changes to how services are handled. To keep a service from not being killed by the Android OS, you need to set it to run in the foreground. Since a clock widget needs to be constantly updating itself every new minute that passes, we don't want the OS to kill it off at the wrong time. Now, by setting itself in the foreground, it doesn't mean it's actually working any harder, it just means that when the OS decides to kill off services, it will leave it alone.
In the old days (pre-2.0), it was possible to start a service and flag it as "foreground" and that was it. To do the same thing now, Android requires that a notification is shown to the user at all times. I've hidden it as much as possible (thanks to xaffron for his suggestions), but if you don't like the idea of a notification sitting there, you can switch "Force Update" off.
Q: When will you add this feature...
A: At the moment, I am working on including many features. If you have any suggestions, feel free to post them in this thread but I can only work on so many things at once, I am only human!
Q: Why don't you respond to my complaint in the market.
A: While I do read every comment on the market, if you have a bug/issue, it is best to write about it here or even email me via the email address on the Clockr Market page (which is: [email protected]). Please try to provide as much information as possible, I'm not psychic. If you can include what phone you have, which rom (official/custom) you are using, how did the bug occur, what were you doing, etc... it will help me greatly to find the problem.
Q: Will you be adding support for App2SD
A: No. Please stop asking, you're making yourself look silly. App2SD does not and never will work for widgets.

How to install the Clockr Widget on your homescreen
NOTE: This isn't the only way to add widgets to your Home screen, but it is one way that is easy to explain.
FIRST STEP
You need to start from your Home screen. This is what a basic Home screen looks like:
It has widgets and other things that you can move around.
You need to make sure that you have room for Clockr to be installed (It does take up a whole row of space).
SECOND STEP
Press the "Menu" button on your phone so that this pops up:
Now you need to select the "Add" option (the one I have highlighted).
THIRD STEP
Now this dialog box will pop up:
Select the option to add "Widgets" (highlighted in the image).
FOURTH STEP
Now a list of available widgets will appear:
Select the Clockr widget that you wish to install.
FIFTH STEP
If you followed these simple steps, Clockr will now be added to your Home screen:
If you tap on the widget, you can then change any of the custom options to make it look how you want it to look.
Hope this has helped you, if you are still having trouble, let me know!

Zehro and Hollywooder thanks for all your efforts!!
looks like an awesome app, just now added to my screen its much better than tjam in my opinion!
Looks cool, I'll try it out later.
Oh, how about localised versions? One thing that always bugged me about Tajm is that it is only English and am/pm, I'd very much love a widget like that that reads e.g. "ZwölfSiebenundZwanzig"

I hope to be able to add this soon.
I'm still very new to Android Development, just learning my way around. At the moment, I am working to provide a configuration screen that allows you to change font size, font color and also add a background image (similar launcherpro dock). After this, I think localisation will be my next goal.
Man, I was totally lurk-stocking the Nexus boards waitin for this. Great work man, thank you!
Freakin' awesome! I use it on my EVO and it looks nasty! I love it!
You know what would go good w/ this? "Dater" "tuesdayNOVEMBERtwenty-fifth"

it would be cool if it were possible to install all three mods as separate widgets rather than having to replace one after the other when trying to switch between mods
Thanks for the comments everyone! I'm glad people are liking it, hopefully you will like it even more once I improve it!
The reason it updates a bit slowly is because I didn't want it to be a big drain on battery life. I can always change it so it updates more frequently, but for my first android app release, I didn't want people screaming at me because my app is killing their device. =P
Tonight I have been trying to workout how to get this configuration page to work properly. As soon as that clicks in place, you'll be able to switch font colors and all the other things easily.
I do plan to make other widgets in a similar style (I like the idea of dater, but the name... sounds a bit like a dating service! LOL). Right now, I'm just trying to focus on getting this configuration screen working and then it will be easy for me to apply my application to other ideas.
For now, I gotta sleep. Its after 2am here and I have to work tomorrow! >.<

So, this is my first attempt at programming for android. Well, my first attempt at java as well. Regardless, I am pleased with the outcome and though I would share. As a father of four, I always like keeping a photo of my kids handy. The gallery is nice, but not for a quick, "Have you seen my daughter recently" situation. So I went to the market... Surprisingly I didn't find much. At least not much that did what I wanted. So, here is what I wanted and what I currently have.
Application Website is http://deanstudios.net/dev/frameme
Features:
1x1, 1x2, 2x1, 2x2 Widgets
full screen image when clicked
multiple widgets supported
selectable picture frames
Crop image when selecting
Full widget preview on your background
Click on one widget - Fling to the others
Click on widget and fling through images in user selected directory
timed rotation of widget image in directory mode
Reconfigure existing widgets
Atrix external SDCard support
Frameless image

Issues:
Test it out and let me know if you find something else.
ToDo's:
Add additional frames
Add better support for hdpi devices. Need something to test with though.
As you can see it is pretty simple and straight forward. For me, it also does the job well. I have other ideas for it, feature wise as well as new frames. I am hoping to have time to implement them. However, I do have four kids so we will see. If there is interest, I might throw it into the market as well. For now, you can download it at the links below.
If you enjoy this app and want to support me it is available in the market for $0.99. It will always be available here free so don't worry. The QR Code below will take you directly to the market page. If you have bought it and enjoy it please consider rating it.
I would love to hear what you think and what device you are using it on if you have something other than a Hero. As it is, it was designed to support mdpi and android 2.1. Enjoy!
Updates:
FrameMe 1.3.5 - Several other memory related issues have been corrected. There is also the addition of a "No Frame" option when choosing your frame. An about screen was also added and available from the app drawer as well as the full screen image menu. Support for the Atrix's external sd card was also included.
FrameMe 1.3.3 - Added additional work-around's for the "out-of-memory" issues. Should most of the FCs due to bitmap creation and use. Hopefully you notice a difference.
FrameMe 1.3.1 - I am sorry 1.3.1 took so long to get here. There are some serious bugs in the Droid X gallery that I found in the last release. It took me a while to find a solution that didn't break all the other phones out there. Now 1.3.1 works on Droid X as well. (at least with my testers). I also added three new frames including one to go along with HTC Sense or similar design. Hope you enjoy.
FrameMe 1.3.0 - Okay, so a lot of you have been asking for a 2x2 widget and cycling of the image in the widget. Well, 1.3.0 brings all that and a little more. Not only was a 2x2 widget added, but a 1x2 and 2x1 as well. For those widgets using the directory option you can also have the displayed image cycle through images in the directory at a user set interval. Under the hood there has been several performance optimizations and that pesky Galaxy S bug is now dead as well. It should work on all the phones in the series. Also, landscape images are shows in landscape mode so you don't loose half the image. For now, that is about it. Again, I am sorry you have to redo all your widgets but it was necessary to support different widget sizes.
FrameMe 1.2.0 - Version 1.2.0 has had quite a bit of code rewritten. For starters the configuration screen now shows a full widget preview on your own wallpaper. The frame selection is now graphical and pressing menu when a widget is clicked provides an option to reconfigure that widget. There have also been some minor bugs squashed in the directory mode functionality.NOTES: Database has changed, please remove widgets before upgrading.
FrameMe 1.1.2 - Addition of several new frames. Directory mode was tweaked to allow the thumbnail image to be used as the first image when clicked.NOTES: For Directory enabled widgets, the thumbnail image will be in the rotation twice if it was selected from an image within the target directory.
FrameMe 1.1.1 - Corrected the memory issues in the directory option. It now can support unlimited images in a directory.NOTES: Images are loaded and scaled in real time. To improve fling speed size your images appropriate for your phone. It will work regardless though.
FrameMe 1.1.0 - Added the ever requested directory option. Now you can bind a widget to a directory on your sdcard and when clicked it will fling between the images in that directory. Thumbnail image is not required to be in that directory and still shows in the fling list for other non-directory widgets. NOTES: This modifies the database so you will need to re-add you current widgets. Also, it is easy to run out of memory when pointing to a directory with lots of images. It does resize though to help with this.
FrameMe 1.0.1 - Added the Rustic Edge frame & code cleanup.
FrameMe 1.0.0 - Corrected a few bugs with canceling out of the config screen without selecting an image. Removed the fling action if only one widget (image) is available. Code cleanup.
KidFrame 1.3 - Added a few more frames. Also made it so if you click on an widget to get a full size image you can now fling (swipe) and it will cycle through all widget images without having to close and click again. First image delays a little while it is processing and I am not completely sold on it yet. Also added my icon in the correct place for hdpi devices.
KidFrame 1.2 - Created resized thumbnails for display on the widget. This should help with memory resources and allow the number of widgets to be almost unlimited. Also added a third frame (was just playing with frames).
1.1 - Link above has been updated with the newest version: Code has been rewritten to us a database back-end. Configurations now are kept after a reboot. The selected image is now user cropped and resized so it should not limit the number of widgets you can add. Hopefully there will be more to come.
Great app. Thanks. I had an idea to fill a 4x4 screen with images of my family for easy viewing but using ADW the 6th+ widget fail to load. So I will go with 4-5. Cant wait to see what other frames you have in mind.

Looks like this may be a memory issue. If you resize your images manually to around 600 on the longest side you should be able to use as many as you want. I played around and had issues with camera images (5mp) not loading but smaller (640x480) images would just fine.
I will look into actually resizing the images for the thumbnails. This should help. Thanks for the feed back. I am glad you like it.
I'm glad I stumbled across this! Thanks much!

Thanks! It has been a hair pulling ride. I should start my 4 year old in java. That way it could be a family activity.
Nice! My mom will love this app. I will wait to tell her about it though until it resizes the pics to thumbnails. She'll want to dedicate multiple, full, screens to her niece and currently it looks like that's not possible without getting errors.

Any way you can make the crop box be the same dimensions as the screen so we can tell what will show up. with the current setup you have to center the image so it show when you open it.

I can, and I had actually tested it that way. The problem is that if you select an image based on the portrait view it never works correctly in landscape. With the 1:1 square, if you center what you want to focus on it works in both modes.
I realize that many people never use a landscape home (many devices don't support it) but many of us do. If enough people make the request, I can change it though.... or if you device doesn't support a landscape home screen then maybe I could make you a custom build... It might be a few days though.
Thank you, great job, working great on the evo.

That is great to hear! I was hoping it would work okay on the hdpi devices. I have limited ability to test outside of my own Hero. I am glad it looks okay. If you have the ability, I would love to see a screen shot from the EVO.
I am glad it is being enjoyed!
Hey, on you EVO does it have a custom icon or the little green android stock thing? I think I need to make an hdpi icon...
It is the stock icon, Here are some screens from the evo:
The only thing I noticed & im not sure if it is because of the evo's screen size or not, but some of the pic gets cut off, well not the full size pic you know, I have to stretch & center it when cropping...

Ive been through a lot (at least all the free ones) of time sheet/ time tracking apps, and none of them really have everything I'm looking for... but it looks like this one covers just about everything I need. I'll keep you posted on my opinion of it as I use it, thanks again

Thanks for the reply!
What did you like specifically about this app? Let me know if there are any features you'd like to see, or if there are any interface issues that are bothering you!
Hi Justin,
I haven't been able to put your app through real-world use so I hope my following feedback helps in some regard.
I'm thinking of getting rid of the check in/delete buttons in favor of a click/click&hold context menu on each project row (where clicking anywhere in the row would check in or check out, and click&hold would have options like rename, delete, other). I want to keep the app simple and streamlined. Your thoughts?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I think another option instead of the tap&hold is to implement the triangle on the right as in the Google Music app, that way it is visually intuitive.
Having a tap to check-in might be "difficult" for users to figure out. Maybe use a checkbox and highlight the row when they have checked in?
The date at the top is in a textview which is a bit deceptive since it cannot be edited, BUT good idea to auto fill that field.
The large ADD PROJECT button is good and makes sense.
I like that every option is on one screen and one can create a project in just a couple taps (excluding key presses).
I think the View Project Reports should be moved from the overflow menu and placed in the ActionBar.
Since the Weekly Project Reports screen is a separate activity there should be an up affordance in the top-left (App icon with a left-pointing arrow) to return to the main activity.
The first time you open the Weekly Project Reports the date textfield does not auto-populate with the current date; that also should be changed to a button of some kind.
This may be stretching it, but instead of the date picker dialog box you could use a month style picker, like the one in Business Calendar. I know Google implemented a numberpad in their updated Clock app for their time picker in Android 4.2. Did they do something similar with dates?
I think the state of the Decimal Format checkbox should be saved when the user leaves the Weekly Project Reports screen and restored when they view it at a later time.
Really cool idea on the landscape layout for the main activity!
The Generate Email Report should be put into the ActionBar as the Share icon, but I'm sure you're already working on that.
I don't think the Really Exit? dialog is necessary. It may scare the user in thinking that they forgot to click a save button.
AndroidDevelopers on YouTube are a group of Google developers and designers that take a technical in-depth look at Android apps nominated by their viewers and developers themselves. I'd recommend watching their series as they give some helpful tips on implementing certain things in your code, correct design patterns, and their Android Design in Action show, where they show Holo redesign mockups of Android apps, is pretty awesome. You can even nominate your app to be reviewed.
I think another option instead of the tap&hold is to implement the triangle on the right as in the Google Music app, that way it is visually intuitive.
Having a tap to check-in might be "difficult" for users to figure out. Maybe use a checkbox and highlight the row when they have checked in?
I'll look into the triangle menu.
The date at the top is in a textview which is a bit deceptive since it cannot be edited, BUT good idea to auto fill that field.
I was trying to maintain some symmetry in the GUI. If I can find something that looks better, I'll change it. A textview doesn't look right with the Project name editor underneath
The large ADD PROJECT button is good and makes sense.
I like that every option is on one screen and one can create a project in just a couple taps (excluding key presses).
I think the View Project Reports should be moved from the overflow menu and placed in the ActionBar.
GOOD CALL! I'm not familiar with using that, but it looks like the proper way to go.
Since the Weekly Project Reports screen is a separate activity there should be an up affordance in the top-left (App icon with a left-pointing arrow) to return to the main activity.
I'll look into it, but I've never used that feature in any app before. I always use the back button.
The first time you open the Weekly Project Reports the date textfield does not auto-populate with the current date; that also should be changed to a button of some kind.
I purposely leave that blank at start-up so that the "Click to select a Date" hint shows up. If you are suggesting to have a "Select Date" button next to a date textview, that is possible, but I thought the date box was intuitive enough. I'll consider it tho.
This may be stretching it, but instead of the date picker dialog box you could use a month style picker... I know Google implemented a numberpad in their updated Clock app for their time picker in Android 4.2. Did they do something similar with dates?
I think the state of the Decimal Format checkbox should be saved when the user leaves the Weekly Project Reports screen and restored when they view it at a later time.
I need to write/open a config file (or save to the database). It's coming in a future release
Really cool idea on the landscape layout for the main activity!
The Generate Email Report should be put into the ActionBar as the Share icon, but I'm sure you're already working on that.
Have not been working on that, but it's a good idea.
I don't think the Really Exit? dialog is necessary. It may scare the user in thinking that they forgot to click a save button.
I implemented that before I had a SQLite database. It will be removed.
Thanks for the great feedback!
Someone found a bug. Apparently if you click checkIn on a new project, or click the delete button for a project, and then double click "yes" on the pop-up window, the program crashes. I'll have to look into this tonight.

I thought that might be the case. I kind of want to leave work early so I can fix that bug lol... but alas, android development doesn't pay my bills
I've fixed this issue, and I've also prevented users from being able to double-click "Check In" or "X", which would result in 2 separate dialog windows (in the delete case, the second dialog fails on a 2nd yes click since the project no longer exists).
I'll probably be releasing a new version this afternoon. I'd like to see if I can get some additional features in first.
New version released
New version uploaded to the Google Play Market.
Version 1.0.2
-------------
- Fixed bugs involving double-clicking of the CheckIn and Delete buttons.
- Made Sorting Buttons persistent.
- Made Decimal Format button setting persistent.
- Clicking of the "Decimal Format" has significantly better performance now.
- Improved stability when changing the screen orientation from portrait to landscape, or vice-versa. Window Manager was not always returning the current screen orientation (it occasionally returns NULL).
I'm trying to apply gradients to some linearLayout backgrounds. There are 3 texviews in the linearLayout. For some reason if I assign different weights to the 3 textviews, the gradient background dissappears from roughly half of the largest textview (usually occurs as soon as I scroll the view, but it will happen automatically after a second or two).
Anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: I figured out the problem. I was using a single instance of the GradientDrawable class for all 3 views... and you have to create a unique gradient for each view, otherwise the exact same shape/size gradient will get applied to those views' backgrounds (this would only work if each view to have the gradient applied was the exact same size).
First Major visual update for TimeSheet (Lite) released!!!
Version 1.1.0
-------------
- Drastically updated the main project screen (Click anywhere on a Project row to check in, and Click&Hold on a Project Row to access that project's menu for name editing and project deletion... more options will be coming in a future release).
- I now use relative layouts to make sure that buttons and project rows utilize the whole screen. Please email me if you are having issues with screen layout on your device.
- More updates soon (such as editing timestamps).
Do you guys like the new interface? Any suggestions?
New Version Released:
Ver. 1.1.2
----------
- BUG FIX (Midnight related. I calculated the time in milliseconds of the beginning and end of the previous day instead of the intended day).
- Implemented the Android action bar (Clickable icons in top-right corner of the app). All menu items will appear in the top-right corner of the screen (such as bringing up the weekly reports screen, or generating an email report).
- Greatly improved the performance of the weekly reports. Reports and email attachments generate MUCH faster now.
- Rearranged Add Project button in portrait mode.
- Active project text is now BOLD.
Another decent sized release:
Ver. 1.1.3
----------
- BUG FIX (Calculation of midnight was still incorrect... UTC instead of the phone's timezone offset)
- Implemented Time Stamp viewer. To view timestamps, click & hold on the project you'd like to view. There is now a new option to "View TimeStamps". In this new screen, Click & hold on any timestamp to bring up a new menu with the option to delete the stamp.
- Next release should contain the ability to EDIT timestamps from the click & hold menu.
Ver. 1.2.0
----------
- Implemented Time Stamp editor. Now you can Click&Hold on a timestamp to delete it, or edit the check-in or check-out times. Ability to add a brand new timestamp from scratch will be coming in a future release.
- BUG FIXES (More Beginning/End of Day fixes related to Time Zones. The main screen is now properly updated automatically when a change of date occurs)

It's kind of funky looking with the contrasting black rows and gray background. The background of the sort row should also be changed to match the rest of the app theme. I like the green gradient; it doesn't look too iOSy, though you may want to do something more Holo-ish like a green outline or glow. I'd recommend checking out other Holo themed apps and see their themes. I think the ADD PROJECT button should be moved to the ActionBar or, if you want to implement something a little different, a TextField row as described in this ADiA video.
This site looks pretty cool. It has a bunch of custom user-submitted views: http://www.androidviews.net

I do plan to change the color of the bottom row (with the sort buttons), but I'm not sure in what way yet. My primary concern is keeping a nice consistency with the landscape mode. There is considerably more whitespace in the left panel of landscape mode. I'll repost the screen after I make some more changes.
Nice app thank you, it would be nice if we could completely customize the colors...

The Steam mobile app is definitely due an update, the last update was released in March 2012, but I don't see that changing for a long time.
The current interface for the Steam app is terrible, low quality images all over the show, it's a direct port from the iOS app, and that most certainly
does not follow the Android design guidelines. If Valve won't fix and update the app, who will?
I will.
This App is a modification to the official app from Valve on the Play Store. This mod completely changes the user interface from the ugly interface
that is currently in use, to a more pleasing interface known as "Holo". The visuals of this app follow the Android design guidelines as closely as it
possibly can without having to recode the entire app.
As well as this app being a visual update, the app also comes with speed increases, stability and general smoothness all the way throughout the app.
The standard app uses images for the text input box, send button and many more features of the app; using images for assets such as this contribute
to slowing down the speed of the app due to there being more files to read from. I have removed the need for many images in this app by moving the assets
from using images to using official Android code (Assets such as chat text input and the send button).
Every single visual asset of this app has been changed and rebuilt using the Android guidelines. The action bar is no longer an ugly bar with diagonal pin stripes
with a gradient overlay, it's now a single colour Android action bar. The chat bubbles are no longer obnoxious low quality bubbles, they're now high quality boxes
similar to that of the boxes used for Hangouts. All these visual changes and more in the app.
On the official app, scrolling through web pages (such as people's profiles) was painful, scrolling would take forever with a huge noticeable lag on every scroll,
making tasks such as viewing your games list unbearable.
To install this app, you must first of all uninstall the official app from the Play Store if you currently have that on your device.
Once the app is uninstalled, you can then install this version.

Amazing work! Scrolling is now also waaay smoother than on vanilla.
Really impressive
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Looks great! Really needed this, I couldn't take much more of the default app's appearance.
If only Valve would do something about it sooner
Would it be possible to drag the side panel menu in from the side, and hide it away with another swipe? Similar to the new Play Store style?
Other than that amazing job!

In the current state the app is in, I cannot. However, I am working on a separate app which will replace this, that app will be full holo and be on the Play Store.
How exactly do you modify an app like this? Is there a general overview/tutorial somewhere?
God I would love this done to the Rdio app.

There are various programmes which will decompile an app, once you've decompiled the app, you will be left with the apps source code.
Once you've got the source code, you can start modifying images, XML files and Java files. Once you've done, you can recompile it, usually using the same programme as the one you used to decompile, although the signature will be different

Oh my god oh my god oh my god THANK YOU! I have been waiting for such an update for aaaages. I've posted the link for a few of my Steam friends and they're testing it out - here's what we discovered.
I found a first bug and a thing or two which can be reverted:
- If you have pending messages, touching the number near the name doesn't open the chat. I need to touch the name, then touch chat.
- The message boxes used to be gray and blue, now everything is white. If you can add alternating colors, it'd be great!
Suggestions for expanding features (which may be impossible since decompiling doesn't give the original source, but asking can't hurt!)
- Do you think you can fix the notification system? Steam somehow doesn't push them like WhatsApp does.
- Steam group chats is something the app has lacked for forever!
- Ability to clear history of certain chats while leaving others untouched?

The bug with tapping the chat button not working is a long standing bug in the normal Steam app and is completely random whether it happens or not, I will continue to look into a fix for this.
Alternating colours were a thought while developing, however in the end it was decided to use completely white. The white is much more appealing than alternating colours, it also attempts to mimic the Hangouts chat boxes.
I assume you mean to have the notifications to include what the message is?
It would be incredibly hard to add this, but I may attempt this in the future.
This you already can, just enter a chat with a certain button, press on the overflow menu and press the button that drops down.
Is it possible for you to release the source code or is Steam's license prohibiting that? Just asking since my Steam account is too valuable to be put at risk. Now, I am not saying that OP is out here to steal peoples login info, but there's always a risk involved when you are logging in through a 3rd party app.
If only Valve would man up and update the damn app. It's been what, over 1½ years since they updated it, yes, it looks horrible, it's slow and barely usable.

The chat button not working problem just appeared for me for two people I usually speak with, didn't happen before, but I think that's a coincidence then.
If you could include the option for alternating colors, it'd be great. Google design choices aren't always perfect either and I like to see who's who at a glance.
With the notification, I mean that the notifications often don't get pushed but feel like they get fetched, since they often don't notify while the screen is off and when the screen is on it suddenly notifies again, having like a 20 minute delay. Though I think it's just Steam not using the Google Push Notifications, and this might be impossible for you to fix.
Attempting sounds great! Sadly I think you'd need cooperation from Steam somehow, I don't suppose there's a clear API and messing around in decompiled code isn't exactly very structured .
The clear history option was requested by a friend, they wanted to batch-remove some histories, though I can't really see the point of it. Might be that they have a lot of messages from lots of people.

Just a couple of suggestions here.
1. Add an English version of the news widget.
2. Add 12 hour format for the clock
3. Do not automatically sort all of our apps into many folders, it makes sorting it all out a train wreck.
I love the direction of this theme, however. It has great animations and colors. Also, could someone explain to me what the GeakOS account is for? I am reluctant to sign up.
Reply to your suggestions, Thanks !

Fist of all, thanks so much for your suggestions !
here is what im trying to do:
1. for the news widget, the English version will come, im searching for internatial rss.
2. you could set the clock to 12 hour format on the settings.
3.for the automatically sorting options, If you do not like it, we could try to change this in the next version, if most of users feel the same way like you.
for the GeakOS account, signing up one is for cloud service, the next version will support this function.
So anything else?
Have a nice day.
Thanks for the fast reply. I am glad to hear about the future inclusion on English for the widget. Could you please direct me to where, in the settings, is the option to make the clock 12 hour format?
I will continue to check in for updates and further suggestions. The theme is very fluid and nice in my limited use, so that is definitely a good start. Can't wait for further improvements!

Thanks for the fast reply. I am glad to hear about the future inclusion on English for the widget. Could you please direct me to where, in the settings, is the option to make the clock 12 hour format?
I will continue to check in for updates and further suggestions. The theme is very fluid and nice in my limited use, so that is definitely a good start. Can't wait for further improvements!

I tried it on my phone and i like the dialer most!
Also for the vote, i would like to sort the apps by myself, it's a little annoying when i try to drag every apps out and than sort them again...
but anyway, I like it and will keep up with your updates.

For the present, if you install the Geak os for the first time, You could see that all the apps are fold in the folder.
I want to know if you like it or Not !

I personally don't like this arrangement. Too many folders...
So, you want less folders ?

i can release all the apps just on the launcher, or fold them on the folders, so which one do you like better?
And for the icons, if you find some icon is ugly, i could draw again for you

Ya the older style without auto folders is much better. Icons look better now. One more thing which I had requested earlier was contact photos. sure many people would want it. Especially if you can get MiUI style icons for contacts without photos... Something like what follows next

Really good idea !!

I really think it is a good idea and we also consider to add the smart avater to the contact.
But we are confusing how to do it in details and whether most people would like it !
So you mean if you add the contact you do not want to add the photot in your gallery.
Instead, you want the system match one for you, right?
how to design it to make most people like it? any further ideas?
Did anyone know how to link to a foor?
I am kind fo new here.
so could anyone tell me how to link to specific floor on the contents??
Ya if there is no photo selected for any contact then the system (GEAK OS) should display a specific icon for that contact automatically instead of the boring default contact icon. If it displays the icons like MiUI of Gmail then it would be nice. I recommend that you take a look at Identiconizer app be GermainZ. Its fabulous and maybe you will get some idea.

I like it bro
hope on the progress the ram usage will keep small like that
maybe it can fold the apps according to category maybe
and bro I'm on dual sim phone maybe can it support dual sim ?
if not that's fine i'll just swap the sim
keep the good work
hope it'll get to play store soon
and prepare the donate version

Yeah I got that
Depending on your words and I also tried MIUI and the link you give me.
If user do not set the photo of contacts:
For the miui, It display the two letter of the name, just in a different font.
For the ChameleonOS, It only display the first letter.
So none of them seems very satisfied , I wonder if i coud display a more interesting pic, instead of bank.
How do you think?
I am creating this R&D thread for a project I've been working on for most of this year.
The project named "oZoP" is an All-in-One mods/themes/tweaks for the phone.
The plan for the project is to make it a universally compatible for ALL stock based rom (AOSP is not and never will be supported or compatible)
I will probably release oZoP ConTroL as a stand alone zip mod that will do most of the work and include most or the options.
Eventually I will release the full Aroma oZoP (One Zip One Place) that will include a full rom with all bloat files (all optional of course), along with various other tools needed to build you phones setup the way you like it.
The reason for this thread is to receive valuable and needed user feedback, recommendations and requests.
The feedback will be used to build "OUR" project into a bug free, totally stable experience that will have something for everyone!!
We will get into more detail about what info is needed and how we can get it all put together.
I will add more details as I update this thread. There are A LOT of mods and a lot of info so this will take time.
If you are really that interested and just need to know more, you can always take a glance at some of my other projects,
Most of these projects are simply just sections of oZoP that have been pulled out as a stand alone mod.
Here are a few samples of the mods during the build phase (some features may or may not appear the same or make it to the initial public release)
SCREEN RECORDING VIDEO PREVIEWS
STATUSBAR SECTION:

PULLDOWN QUICK SETTINGS SECTION:

These are recording of the animations, but they also are a quick example of some of the options from the oZoP Theme Engine where everything you see that is themed is mix and match how ever you choose
Stock
Missing Link
Nexus 7
iOS
Flyme
Blur
Google Pixel
MIUI
Full-screen Caller ID
As you can see from what I have in the previews above There are a lot of options and configurations possibility and that's only about 1/5th of what is actually available at this point today.
With all those options come lots of possible conflicts with the various devices and variants that are planned to be on the list of compatible devices.
That brings me to the reason for this thread... I have the H918 Tmobile and may or may not need several users with other devices to be the support section to check compatibility!
To be clear, I have been building this project since March and have recently finished running clean install testing for the past 10 days to ensure all the defaults are set properly and that there are zero bugs that I can detect with my setup.
Again, just because everything works as it is intended for me with my model phone, carrier variant and app and setting setup, doesn't mean it will be the same for everyone.
This thread will hopefully eliminate any possibilities of this not working for everyone and ensures a wonderful experience
You may or may not have seen the following projects. They are in fact sections of oZoP pulled out as stand alone mods.
They have been sort of "silent" compatibility tests that have passed with flying colors. There has been no reports of things not working.
oZoP Modz - Full-screen Caller ID
oZoP MoDz - System Animations
BOOT/SHUTDOWN ANIMATION CHANGER
The next test is being announce as such and is starting taking place right here right now.
This has been tested privately for the last few days and the confirmed Roms and devices include Weta (all US carriers), NATF and one I can't remember right now
DEVICE REQUIREMENTS:
1. Rooted
2. Stock based deodex rom
oZoP MoDz Notifications and more
download Weta here
download for NATF rom
Included:
*volume slider sound toggle*
*volume panel timeout*
*remove ongoing notification for Powersave mode*
*quicksetting airplane toggle warning*
*quicksetting sync toggle warning*
*hide popup for incompatible charging slow mode*
*set trigger for low battery warning*
*set trigger for Critical low battery warning*
*home button pressed bg color*
*Google home button animation*
*colors for Google animation dots*
Report bug properly to get my support
Of course there are many way to properly report bugs and ALL of these ways have one thing in common, THEY ALL REQUIRE VERY DETAILED NOTES of the issue!
I'm moy goimg to go deep into how detailed you could get because lets face it, most people that report improperly are the ones who don't read and probably are going to read this! HaHaHa...
To get support from me I only ask for some simple things
1. What device, and rom you are running
2. What is the issue (no boot, fc everywhere, fc only certain app etc...)
3. Which option did you select
4. Did you get the install log
5. Did you use the restore.zip option to get back running
6. Do other choices share the same effect
That looks like a lot, but it really is the minimum amout of info need to troubleshoot!
Provide me that and I'll do my best to fix things and make this fun for everyone.
If you post things like
"Doesn't work", "bootloop" or anyone other similar post that have no value and help development is no way, actually these kinds of post only put development behind amd slow progress die the fact that anyone who cam help has to waste their time reading it!
If these kind of post ever come up, its best to ignore the lazy person and not clog the thread with flaming replies as that too slows development!

Just curious I could have missed it but will the ability to turn off the annoying battery full notification be included in the mods? And any chance the ROM could include WETA like abilities to modify what is on the second screen (ie: 3min clock)?
Thanks for sharing all this by the way. Exciting times for our V20!
I noticed today that if I do a bulk execute on the second screen mods work on weta. But if I try to just modify them under ui mods individual it causes the system ui to crash. I'm on Verizon weta 5.1 #2

For the clock I have mod native built with control of many thing which do include layout position. I also have native build battery controls including the option to switch between stock modded or 3 minit batteries.
I have stock battery position left/right, but so far it doesn't work right for second screen so the battery will be in the stock position on the right for now.
The reason for this thread is for suggestion, recommendations.
That being said, i currently do not have a switch for the full battery notification.... Currently... I will be adding that and you can expect to see it in the official release!
Thank you

For the 3 replies about having compatibility issues, I want to say this does not come to a surprise and I can assure you that this will not be the case with the official release.
I suspect the reason for this fc issue is because WETA is a very customized rom and some of the mods are probably pushing files the the sysui which I modded and the old files are conflicting because they do not include the referances to the edits I made for the animated home button etc.
This will not be an issue when all the oZoP files are in place.
So i also want to clear this up...
Once the official oZoP is ready and gets installed on to your rom, it will override ALL current mods of your rom. The mod includes most core system files that devs mod.
Don't worry though, i am pretty sure that ANY mods you currently have will be available with oZoP.
If we find out that there is a mod which I haven't included, just let me know and i will definitely do what i can to add the feature.
Sorry for the inconvenience. I will make things more clear for the future as well as add a restore failsafe to the zips.

Thank you sir and the previews don't give any justice to what is really going on!! This will definitely keep you busy for a while. There are a lot of variations of the mods amf theme options!
Thank you all for the replys and feedback.
Remember, this is the time and place to make requests for things you would like to see built in to a stock based rom!
Cant wait for your rom. It looks sick!

I think it would be cool to have a working color coded battery bar for the second screen especially for the AOD part as it's easier to read than a small white battery icon and even the 3minit battery is still pretty tiny when trying to see it at a glance. Not sure if it is do-able
2nd screen is awesome on this phone just wish there was more ways to customize it. Be nice to force it to max brightness as well as being able to increase the time it displays notifications like text messages and stuff.

Again, thank you and this is what this thread is about, getting things we all want in one mod!
So for battery bar in SS, i already have the options for top/bottom placement, regular (left to right) or centered style, charging animation on/off, size and colorpicker for any color. I do not have it color coded, I assume you mean by percentage of battery remaining?
I can definitely look at adding to my code, but that may come in future updates...
As for the other battery options, stock battery is only white if you choose to leave it that way. The battery icon has color optiins for background, foreground and in-battery precentage colors. The icon has several styles including hide, circle and dotted cirlces. 3minit is 3minit, no need to go into that one.
As you can see, there are currently options that could hopefully satisfy your battery needs.
I totally aggree about needing more controls for SS options like brightness and screen notification timeouts.
@Zacharee1 and I have been looking deeper to add options for pulse and text color controls, but again this one may have to be for future updates as well...
Thank you for your interest and participation here.
Thanks for taking time to clear up as to why we're having issues. Your mods are awesome. And I commend you for putting the time in to do this for this phone. ?? ?? Im sure everyone in this forum with this phone is extremely grateful to you for doing this, as we don't have many choices for roms and such for a phone that is a year old. It amazes me, my old old HTC desire and galaxy s4 are still getting roms released yet this phone is all but abandoned. Lol anyway thank you immensely and I look forward to the finished product. (I will also beta test any releases you push if needed)

I don't plan on getting a mew phone for at least another yr so you guys are should get ready for a fun ride on oZoP!
@KUSOsan just finished up the Full battery switch and love your suggestions so keep em coming. There can't be that many left.. Haha that mod make puts the total keys used for included mods at 407! Thats 407 different settings some pf which include 50+ choices!
Do the math, its basically unlimited possibilities!

I need to write them down because I can never think of stuff on the spot but it's always whenever the problem arises.
Most of my suggestions pretty much center around the 2nd screen as there is just a disappointing lack of customization for it considering that is the biggest defining feature about the V20.
I was hoping LG would add more stuff to it after they talked big about focusing on the 'V' series as their main contender with the G series taking a backseat compared to it but with the V30 coming out sans a 2nd screen I have a bad feeling that if anything they are going to abandon any 2nd screen updates completely or just streamline it (i.e. neuter it with less features but make it look prettier) for the Oreo update if this phone ever gets it.
I also have a bad feeling that Oreo is going to be a long ways out for this phone so your timing with the mods and ROM are perfect ?
I'm extremely interested in this ozop rom. Thanks for puting all you time and effort into this. Will this work for the sprint ls997 model? If so which rom will we need to be running?
